8 Benefits of Walking

It’s easy to take it for granted.
Walking is such a natural action.
We do it every day – at work,
while shopping, while taking out
the garbage and while visiting
friends and family.

Many people think the only way to exercise is by running or
lifting weights.
They equate stressing out muscles and joints by running or jogging
as the only way to work out and feel better.

4.
But something as simple as walking can be enough to make us
feel better, and the health benefits can’t be denied.
Walking has the lowest dropout rate of all physical activities, and
it’s the simplest positive change you can do to improve your heart
health.

5.
April 2 was National Walking Day, but we can walk to boost
our health and mood all year ’round, so let’s take a look at
how walking can help.

7.
To make walking more interesting, consider inviting a friend
or bringing a pet.
• You could also go somewhere like a nature trail or other scenic area
to take in beautiful scenery while getting your walking in at the
same time.
• And then enjoy the wonderful benefits of getting out and moving
with this low-impact exercise.
